Font in Knock

Font

What is recorded here

Knock is an eight-sided sandstone font inside a graveyard gate in County Meath, Ireland. Its circular basin holds water for baptism, while small chamfered panels catch light along the stone. The compact shape suggests busy ceremony rather than display, with people gathering close enough to touch the edge.
